Fill your life with beautiful things
With warmth and comfort and love and grace
Take an empty heart
And pour overflowing joy into its depth
Feel the sun
Embrace the moon
Dream sweet dreams
And Sing!
Songs of praise
Tag praise
Pink Peony
Basket of flowers
Being delivered today
Rush past my person
With no small delay
My heart wells up
My soul is touched
To have but a petal
In palm of hand clutched
My yearning is felt
A small gift breaks free
Released from its hold
Pink peony for me
I lurch through the crowd
Stem falls to the floor
My heart sings out loud
To my creator once more
Glory, my Lord!
It is from being low
That we can rise up high
From kissing grounds
To touching sky
I crouch below
And hide away
My covered face
Begins to pray
I rest awhile
I wait for God
Glory to heaven
Glory, my Lord!
Praise
An Acrostic Poem
Prayers from my heart
Reach the One whom I
Adore and in his mercy
I receive love and grace
Supplied abundantly –
Everlasting peace
Another Day
One more day
To witness blue skies
Shining from heaven above
I close my eyes
Giving thanks for those
Who fill my life with love
Praise
I have a friend very close to me
Who wonders why it was meant to be
Why are we here? What is it for
Is there any reason to be here at all?
I do not know, there are no words
To justify why we are in the world
All I have is all I know
That I am glad for this moment now
To be alive and to be aware
To be a part of our world to share
So while we breathe – live in harmony
For each life forms the world’s company
Dogs and cats and humans too
Snakes and rats and a kangaroo
For without this life breathed into us
It would all be bleak, nothing to discuss
So let us praise, let us rejoice
Let us sing with a joyful voice
For this common force, the world we share
For our earth and pure magic air
Song of Heaven
From depths of despair
My heart cries out
When all is hopeless
I find my hope
My tears are dried
My joy returns
Songs of praise
Sound loud and true
I sink to my knees
My Lord, my God –
I Love Thee!
